Colonie Center steelwork complete

Turner Construction Company and Colonie Center celebrated the completion of the steel portion of its $70 million improvement project.

Turner, which has an office in Albany, built the 80-foot-tall structure from 3,000 tons of steel. Work began in December for what will amount to 105,000 square feet of additional retail business, a 13-screen Regal Cinema, Barnes & Noble and P.F. Chang’s.

In upcoming months, Turner will be working on the exterior facade, interior framing and mechanical-electrical-plumbing work.

Turner is the leading general builder in the U.S., ranking first or second in the major segments of the building construction field.
